This mural was created by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #269 in partnership with the Alberta Lotteries Board, the Municipal District of Brazeau, the Drayton Valley Agricultural Board, and the Canada Millennium Partnership Program. The mural depicts the faces of twenty-seven veterans from the First World War, Second World War, and Korea. A plaque situated across the street contains a legend with the names of the veterans depicted. It was officially unveiled in May 1999.
